The man was devouring, but the system was in the primordial world.

"Mafa!"

The illusory figure quickly materialized inside the spaceship, bowed slightly, and greeted the white figure, "What are your orders, Master?"

"We'll change course and not go to the Laiyang system for now. We'll go and retrieve my Darkhorn Clan's private property first."

"Master could actually contact Prince Lucius..."

"The nature of the situation changes once you contact him," White Cree said disapprovingly.

"That tiny secret realm was originally an asset I prepared for my clan. Even the star system we recently acquired was built around that secret realm. Let the Green Wilderness Alliance get involved. How can we expand to that dark area to the side? The expedition team finally discovered the natural life-bearing planet cluster inside."

This is also why the Cretaceous were unwilling to withdraw from the slave trade.

While developing their existing colonies, slave traders also sent out slave-hunting teams to capture slaves.

These slave-hunting teams would search for new life-bearing planets and develop new sources of slave production. In the process, they would often discover some very special regions.

For example, there is a strange dark domain next to the secret realm that Yinlong promised.

At first, everyone thought this was the "Void Land," because although the area shrouded in black mist was not large, there was nothing inside.

This characteristic perfectly matches the various races' definitions of the Void.

Only in recent years!

When the slave-catching team accidentally stumbled upon this area, they discovered a life-bearing planet with abundant resources.

After careful observation for some time, they finally noticed a clue from the constantly floating meteorite.

This black fog is devouring interstellar dust.

Endless dust mixed with meteorites fell into this enormous funnel, but they stuck together to form even larger wholes.

The planets inside, including the stars in various star systems, were most likely formed under the influence of the black mist.

Although the entire area covered by the black fog is only about one-tenth the size of a medium-sized civilization in the universe, the star systems inside are dense enough to support a large number of life forms.

This is a natural territory.

Since Cretaceous was preparing to emulate other powerful human races and develop the Darkhorn Clan, it naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

He has already completed half of his mission, and the Darkhorn Clan members have gradually completed their migration, establishing survival bases and stable resource production chains on various inhabited planets. Even if a military leader wanted to drive a wedge into their doorstep, they would have to consider whether they were qualified.

"Hurry up!"

"Perfect timing! We can take this opportunity to show those good-for-nothings the strength and confidence of our clan."

……

At this time, in the Black Sea Castle of the Cui Lang Empire.

In a dimly lit palace surrounded by waves and perched on a massive reef, several figures sat facing each other, their expressions shifting between light and shadow.

Especially the bald woman with no eyebrows at the very top.

She turned around, her gaze sweeping over the four realm lords around her. Her aura was deep and profound, and her sharp eyes were like ice blades.

"Ya has fallen."

"This...how is this possible?"

The pale-faced man at the head of the left-hand side paused slightly, "Although Ya has only just broken through, his understanding of the laws is quite high. He wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke the powerhouses of the two holy lands. How could a newly promoted world lord have perished so inexplicably?"

"Yes—how could he have fallen?"

A cold smile crept across the woman's lips. "You'll have to ask that!"

"Didn't I tell him not to leave the castle before breaking through to the fifth level of the Realm Lord? Garcia, I told you to keep an eye on him, what have you been doing?"

A hooded figure on the right coughed lightly.

"I thought there would be no danger."

"According to those idiots from the Night Raven gang, that tiny secret realm was guarded by only one domain lord. I just didn't expect..."

"You just didn't expect the other party to be a realm lord."

The bald woman's aura surged, "That's ruthless!"

"A Realm Lord-level Spiritualist actually dares to use 'Spirit Corrosion Venom'? But does he dare to slap my Black Sea Castle in the face like this? Does he think that I, Eastman, am easier to deal with than Wanlong Mountain and Crimson Snow Peak?"

"So, Lord of the Fortress, what are you planning to do?"

"Naturally, we'll retaliate in kind, kill that Gray Calamity Realm Lord who managed to break through by sheer luck, and then find his master to discuss compensation!"

Upon hearing this, the hooded realm lord suddenly looked up, and the other three realm lords also frowned.

"Grey, if I remember correctly..."

"It's the Green Field Alliance!!!"

"Lucis, that guy is not to be trifled with. Wanlong Mountain just suffered a loss at his hands not long ago. In the end, they had to give up several rare mineral deposits to barely settle the matter."

"If the fortress master is to deal with them, shouldn't he send a few more powerful warriors?"

"Gentlemen—"

The Black Sea Fortress Lord suddenly raised her voice, and immediately, the other Realm Lords fell silent. For a moment, only her voice could be heard throughout the entire palace.

"Our enemy has never been Lucifer!"

"That remarkable genius from the Dark Corner Clan dares to provoke us established powers just because he has some strength. It's time for us to teach him a lesson."

"Besides, there are countless disciples of immortal gods... Do you think one Lucius would make us back down?"

That is definitely not possible.

"I understand, Lord. I'll go with you."

"Ya's fall was a mistake I made, and it is my responsibility to make amends. A tiny secret realm should be enough to compensate for the loss of our Black Sea Castle."

……

The same situation occurred throughout the Cui Lang Empire.

Forced by the Green Wilderness Alliance's momentum, the Domain Lord-level forces declined the offer, while the Realm Lord-level forces wouldn't care about such things.

Because of the news released by Yinlong, Black Sea Castle, Crimson Snow Peak, and Ten Thousand Dragon Mountain all dispatched their respective powerful figures. At the same time, some lone realm lords were also attracted by this "deep-sea bomb" and, with the mentality of getting a share of the pie, gathered in that super-small secret realm on the border of the Cui Lang Empire.

……

"So, you really don't need my help?"

Lucius fiddled with the dark blue crystal in his hand, looking at the chalky white surface on the communication interface ahead.

"unnecessary."

"During the time I've been following my teacher, I haven't been idle. For ordinary realm lords, I've killed them all... but what about the two holy lands..."

"The Azure Forest will not intervene!"

Lucius looked completely matter-of-fact. "My teacher and Lord Yan Sha are friends. A tiny secret realm isn't enough to get him to act."

"Similarly, he also told us not to take any action."

"As for the royal family, they don't know about your relationship with that person yet."

"However, it's highly likely the royal family will only send one realm lord. If you find that troublesome, I can help you put in a good word. Otherwise, it's really difficult to kill them... Of course, I'm not saying you can't kill them, but since we'll still have to deal with the Cui Lang Empire in the future, it's better to avoid trouble and get yourself into a mess!"
